Beola ghiandonata
|
|
Striped texture orthogneiss with heterogeneous grain and close yet discontinuous schistosity plans. The rock is characterised by a whitish background with irregular aggregates of finely grained laminar biotite. On the whole the rock has a rather even grey colour. It is exactly because of this soft refined colour that it is considered a valuable material.
